Hoover dryer taking too long to dry? Check the lint filter

Every load sheds fibres, and the lint filter catches them before they reach the fan, heater and exhaust. A torn mesh or a cracked frame lets lint slip past, where it builds up inside the dryer, slows airflow and can become a fire risk around the heater. A filter that will not latch can fall out of place for the same reason. Long drying times, a hotter than usual cabinet, lint blowing out of the exhaust and a burning smell are all signs to check the filter. Clean it after every load to keep air moving.

Fitting the lint filter

Make sure the dryer is off and the drum has stopped. Release the old filter using its quick release catch and lift it out. Clean any lint from the filter housing with a soft brush or vacuum nozzle, then slide the new filter in until the catch clicks. Run a short warm cycle and check the filter stays firmly in place.

Questions about this part

How often should I clean the lint filter?

Clean it after every load. Even a thin layer of lint restricts airflow, which lengthens drying time and makes the dryer work harder. Replace the filter if the mesh is torn, stretched or pulling away from the frame.
